SteveJobsdied today, at his Palo Alto home, ten blocks away from our house.Because of him, I have no idea how to use a PC. Because of my dad, as well, who bought (I think) the first Macintosh, and every other model after that. I can't remember not having a Mac at home. My own first computer was the iMac, and I'm now onto my 2nd Mac desktop. Thank you Steve... And thank you Papa. I know that you too must be sad today."Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - from Steve Jobs' Commencement Speech at Stanford University in 2005.
